There's an Avalon in Dalian / Britain Before Chaldea's Arrival

"Humanity Incineration! You can't just stand by and do nothing about such a momentous event!"

Merlin's mention of this matter finally made Fujimaru Kyoya serious. Even though the simulator had already told him that "Humanity Incineration" had been avoided, why did Merlin still bring it up?

"The crucial moment when Humanity Incineration was the Fifth Holy Grail War, but I have already won and rewritten my destiny."

Simulators are, after all, part of the First Magic; they shouldn't be unable to distinguish even this kind of thing.

"You did rewrite your destiny, but the problem is that the 'Beast' is no ordinary being. When you forcibly changed the World Line by winning the Fifth Holy Grail War, he was also fighting against it, and the final result was that the World Line was split into two."

Merlin offered a brief explanation of the "Beast's" characteristics: it was, after all, an absolute "evil" born from absolute "love." It would be ridiculous to think that simply altering the timeline could eliminate it.

"How could I not know about such a thing? No, it's not that I didn't know, but that I forgot."

Fujimaru Kyoya, after all, someone who had reached the Root, but with the dismantling of the First Magic, his memories of the Root had become blurred.

"So, the moment I won the Holy Grail War, the World Line split into two, right?"

"That's right, do you feel powerless?"

Merlin spoke with ill intent, after all, the footprints on his face had not yet faded, and such a grudge obviously could not go unpunished, but his revenge was destined to fail.

"There is no sense of powerlessness. While the original world was preserved, I also created a new world. In this world, my sister doesn't have to embark on the path of saving the world, nor does she have to bear such inhuman responsibilities. This is the greatest value."

Fujimaru Kyoya's answer drew stares from everyone in the room.

Rongomyniad's expression is one of approval; selfless dedication is the romance of Knight. Chris's expression is one of reverie; the figures of the past and the present overlap, one of which represents the fearlessness of a martyr. The Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg's expression is one of hearty laughter; this is the attitude one should have in life. Merlin's expression is one of helplessness; he does not understand human emotions.

"However, I will not abandon Ritsuka from that world. I witnessed her resolve back then. Since the history of that world cannot be changed, then I will go and help her."

At the time, Fujimaru Kyoya was almost obsessed with stopping Fujimaru Ritsuka. The first reason was that he didn't want his sister to bear too much responsibility, and the second was that he believed that he could change the future by changing certain things.

After all, through the third simulation, he effectively shortened the duration of that chaotic era and saved the lives of 120,000 people.

Now that the plan has failed and Ritsuka has proven his future, it is necessary for him to help.

"Goetia is a 'beast' born from King Solomon's body. Although it is absolutely 'evil,' its starting point is absolutely 'good.' The purpose of Humanity Incineration is to create a planet without 'death' and at the same time prevent the invasion of Alien God."

Involving Parallel World is Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg's specialty.

The entire process of Goetia's birth, even the color of his underwear tonight, couldn't escape this Old Bastard's eyes.

"So what does this have to do with me?"

Fujimaru Kyoya already has several aliases in Hall of Heroes; he can be there whenever his sister is in trouble. What's the point of Merlin calling on him?

"The Goetia issue can be resolved gradually. Anyway, the World Line are different, so we have plenty of time. What I want you to resolve is a Parallel World that has already been predetermined, using the Artoria from that world as the body for her resurrection."

Merlin's opening remarks revealed an inhumane plan.

Even though they were both Artoria, he felt no affection for any Artoria who wasn't taught by him. He didn't hesitate at all when he said he would use her as the body for resurrecting Artoria in this world.

"I refuse."

Merlin didn't hesitate, so why would Fujimaru Kyoya hesitate?

He rejected the proposal outright, knowing that Artoria would never accept such a thing, even if the other person was himself from another world.

Chapter 244 There's an Avalon in Dalian

"That world is over. Even if it wasn't targeted by the Alien God, it was a world without a future. 'Borrowing' an Artoria with no future is the best option."

Merlin's words were "correct" and "reasonable," and given Fujimaru Kyoya and self-serving nature, he should have agreed.

"I refuse."

He refused again, Fujimaru Kyoya want Artoria to be tormented by such a matter for the rest of her life.

"I will go to that predetermined world, I will thwart the Alien God's conspiracy, but... I will never ruin another person's life for such a ridiculous reason, especially since that person is my friend."

Fujimaru Kyoya remained adamant, even though he understood that Artoria from another world might not know him, and they weren't friends.

But it doesn't matter. Fujimaru Kyoya the other person is his friend, that's enough. Given Fujimaru Kyoya's selfishness, he would never harm his friend.

The atmosphere in the room fell silent, but it didn't last long. Merlin eventually conceded; he had a long life ahead of him and a long time to live.

"The place you're going to this time is a Lostbelt. Destroy it to prevent it from threatening normal Human Order. This will weaken the power of the Alien God and reduce some trouble for Chaldea in the future."

Merlin didn't dwell on Artoria's issue, but instead shifted the topic to Lostbelt.

"I understand the logic, but how do I get there? Can the Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg's Second Magic allow him to time travel with others?"

Since they are still in a period of cooperation, Fujimaru Kyoya did not continue to escalate the conflict, but instead focused his attention on the Lostbelt.

That was a history denied by Human Order, a world defined as having no "future" and thus cutting off all possibilities of development.

These worlds are essentially sentenced to Death Sentence, and the Alien God seem to be supporting those World Line defined as "failed" to erode the recognized World Line.

They survive by drawing sustenance from the normal World Line.

This is an invasion launched for the sake of its own world, a war to sacrifice one world in exchange for the survival of another. Even before it has begun, Fujimaru Kyoya feels the pressure.

Bearing the weight of the world.

"Of course not. Time travel within your own timeline wouldn't be difficult, but taking you to another Parallel World is a different story. However, it's not without a solution."

Since they've already asked Fujimaru Kyoya to come, there must be a solution.

"Avalon is Inner Sea of Stars, and a region where time and space are chaotic. If you use the Second Magic there, you could be sent to that Lostbelt."

Merlin provided the answer, but the word "possibly" already indicated the risk involved—such a risk even under the care of a Magus.

"Through negotiations, I secured your access to the Inner Sea of Stars. The Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg will teleport you to the Lostbelt, Rongomyniad serve as an anchor point for your return, and Chris will provide you with power in crucial moments."

Fujimaru Kyoya possesses one-third of the First Magic, while Chris also possesses a portion. When these two powers come together, the White Dove who only wants to eat fries will surely not stand idly by.

Basically, they used moral blackmail on this pigeon who wanted to slack off.

When do we depart?

"Of course... now."

Now that Fujimaru Kyoya is willing to take this risk, the next step is to head to Avalon.

Around the beginning of the Common Era, the Age of Gods completely disappeared from the mainland, but remnants of the Age of Gods remained on some island nations far from the mainland. The Britain Isles were the last island nations to lose their Age of Gods.

The reason is simple: Britain is the umbilical cord of this planet, with a passage leading directly to the Inner Sea of Stars located directly beneath the Britain Isles.

The Albion's Tomb is a vast labyrinth located beneath the Clock Tower. It is a labyrinth that has remained unexplored since the Clock Tower was built, and it does not belong to anyone but is the collective property of the Mage's Association.

This place contains special materials that are impossible to find in this day and age: dragon scales and teeth, Hydra larvae, Immortality feathers... Taking just one of these out of the world would bring immense wealth and power, but these were not Fujimaru Kyoya's goals this time.

With the Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg leading the way, Fujimaru Kyoya and his group didn't need any formalities; there was no place in the Mage's Association that the Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg couldn't go.

Starting from the Mining City Magisfia, traversing the Vein Corridor Odvina, delving into the ancient altar where the Dragon Heart was once harvested, and arriving at the Observatory Calion, the limit of human descent.

As they continued to descend, the familiar feeling returned—the elemental true Ether unique to the Age of Gods, along with the occasional appearance of mythical beasts.

The group seemed to have traveled back in time to ancient times.

"The Dragon's Will? Where is this...?"

Fujimaru Kyoya finally remembered where he was. After a thousand years, London had undergone tremendous changes, so much so that he couldn't recognize where he was.

"The Holy Tree?"

That's right, this is the site of Lloyd's final battle, the place where he dealt a heavy blow to the Knights of the Round Table, giving the Fantasy Species a chance to hide in the Inner Sea of Stars.

This underground labyrinth is the path that was carved out by the roots of the Holy Tree.

"That's right, this is the place where the final battle took place back then. You can feel it, can't you? The Dragon's Will."

Although Merlin had no emotions, he was a nightmare that fed on emotions. He could sense the Dragon's desire to enter the Inner Sea of Stars until its death, but unfortunately, it failed.

"80km to 400km underground lies a territory untouched by humankind; this is where Avalon resides."

Merlin then took the lead, and the power that had previously isolated everything ceased its rage, revealing a path paved with flowers in the darkness.

The group walked through the sea of flowers into the endless darkness. After an unknown amount of time, a glimmer of light appeared in their sight.

A gentle breeze, the sweet scent of fruit, a sea of flowers at your feet, and... a gigantic tower suspended in the air.

"Welcome to the Garden of Avalon."

This is a sight unseen in the mortal world, an endless sea of flowers that seems to hold boundless beauty. To use such a scene to imprison a prisoner like Merlin is truly a waste of its potential.

Are you ready?

Merlin asked.

"We can start anytime."

Fujimaru Kyoya would not back down in the face of battle.

"Then let it begin, a grand Magic to save the world, unfolding at the ends of the earth."

Chapter 245 Britain Before the Arrival of Chaldea

The End of the World, the Inner Sea of Stars, the Inner Side... these are all still names of Avalon.

This is the core and most unique part of the planet. In this spacetime distortion, combined with the Second Magic, Fujimaru Kyoya can travel to any Parallel World Earth.

The sound of waves reached Fujimaru Kyoya's ears. He opened his eyes and found that he had left Avalon and arrived at a coastline.

Is this Lostbelt?

Fujimaru Kyoya set foot on this unfamiliar land, where there were no modern buildings, but instead, green vegetation was everywhere.

"According to Merlin, this world has been developing for no less than the Pan-Human History, yet its civilization seems to be stuck in the Middle Ages."

Fujimaru Kyoya himself has the bloodline of the Divine Ancestral Regression, and now he has the power of the Dark Six Royal Authorities' Stigmata. Even if he only relies on his two legs, he will not be slower than a mountain off-road vehicle.

One village after another came into view for Fujimaru Kyoya. The people of this era seemed to still live a life of farming and herding, but there were no humans here.

Where have all the humans gone?

Along his journey Fujimaru Kyoya had seen high Elemental similar to those in "The Lord of the Rings," as well as short dwarves, orcs, and Fairy from fairy tales, but he had never seen a human.

"Even Lostbelt are a tributary of Pan-Human History. The case studies suggest that it's impossible for there to be no humans, so there are probably only three possibilities where we won't see any humans."

Firstly, humans remain the masters of this world, occupying the cities while leaving the barren mountains and fields to be managed by these people.

Secondly, humans and other races have different countries, and the place he descended upon was not a human country.

Thirdly, humans were completely enslaved and confined to a certain place, so they could not be seen everywhere.

Before coming here, Merlin didn't tell him any more information about this Lostbelt. Obviously, he also understood that Fujimaru Kyoya didn't fully trust him, so saying anything would be pointless and he simply didn't say anything.

Everything was witnessed through the eyes of Fujimaru Kyoya.

"Merlin may not say it, but he definitely won't miss the chance to prepare a physical body for Artoria. The location he teleported me to will definitely not be too far away from Artoria in this world."

Fujimaru Kyoya leaped into the air using tree branches as a springboard, simultaneously activating his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.

At this moment, countless "lines" filled his field of vision; these were the "death" of all things.

Artoria is a special being. In her original world, she was Perfect King with dragon genes mixed in. Even if this world has changed, she is definitely a special being.

Special means mysterious, and the higher the mystery, the fewer "deaths" Fujimaru Kyoya can see. It's probably where the "lines" are sparsest.

"Found it."

It was a dilapidated village, and a figure with very few "lines" on their body appeared in that direction... By the river? Washing clothes?

Fujimaru Kyoya quickened his pace, heading towards the village. Even though being human was dangerous in this Lostbelt, he didn't hesitate at all.

This world is on the verge of destruction, and his desire to help Artoria in this world will never change.

It's getting closer.

The girl washing clothes by the river did indeed have the exact same face as Artoria, except that she lacked the boyish air of the other girl and possessed more of a girlish sweetness.

King Arthur was washing clothes by the river like a woman?

Fujimaru Kyoya felt that there was definitely something wrong with his brain, but this world was not the original world, so it was not surprising that King Arthur appeared as a woman.

"Miss, are there any human villages nearby?"

Fujimaru Kyoya stepped forward, and even though revealing his human identity might be dangerous, he still spoke up.

He believed that if the girl in front of him was Artoria's counterpart in Parallel World, then she wouldn't harm someone she had just met.

Of course, Fujimaru Kyoya's main goal was to extract information about this world.

"Miss? I... wait, are you talking about me?"
